S Line Badge is now back on and the headlight trim piece wasn't attached.

NOW

I went to inspect my new A5 that they brought in for me today. They had just washed the car before I arrived but I noticed both front headlights looked foggy. Could this be a bad seal on both headlights? Has anyone else had this happen? Both front headlights looked like they had moisture on the inside of the glass even after driving the car for 1 hour.

Any Thoughts?

Something is definitely wrong if the headlight housings have moisture in them. Its not normal, and it does not occur if everything is put together properly.
That moisture will not just dry-up. Either the headlight housings need to be removed and properly dried and reinstalled, OR the headlight housings need to be replaced.

The fact that this is occuring in a brand new car suggests that there were some problems (possibly an accident that was not properly repaired) that you're not being told about.
